Product Description
Built for Speed and Style
The Bont Envy is a professional-grade roller skate boot built for speed skaters and jam skaters who want elite-level performance without compromising on comfort or style. At the core of the Envy is a precisely engineered carbon composite base made from carbon and fiberglass. It’s shaped to enhance power transfer while allowing natural foot movement. A lower heel cup lets you lean hard into turns, while strategic reinforcement on the boot’s outer edge delivers added support for high-speed control.
Skaters will appreciate the extra flexibility under the arch. By removing material in this area, the boot can be tightened more effectively, improving fit and responsiveness. Whether you’re sprinting out of a turn or switching directions in a jam routine, the Envy supports every movement.
Legendary Legacy, Modernized
This skate is a tribute to the original Bont boots that dominated roller speed skating world championships in the late '80s and early '90s. The Envy continues that tradition with a modern twist. Every element has been refined to match the performance needs of today's skaters.
Materials That Matter
The Envy boot uses a high-quality synthetic outer for durability and all-conditions performance. It is vegan by default and crafted to resist wear while maintaining flexibility and structure. Beneath that, the carbon composite base offers excellent support without the stiffness of full carbon.
The laces are waxed to ensure they stay tight during training and competition. Combined with the boot’s anatomical shape and narrow heel, this creates a locked-in, secure fit that minimizes heel lift and maximizes energy return.
Lightweight, Low Profile
One of the standout features of the Envy is its weight. The boot is light and agile, offering the kind of responsiveness skaters rely on during fast-paced routines and extended sessions.
The low-profile counter allows for smooth movement in every direction, and the integrated lace cover keeps the profile sleek and snag-free. Whether you’re sliding, spinning, or sprinting, the Envy adapts to your flow.
Heat Moldable for a True Custom Fit
No two skaters are alike, and Bont understands that. The Envy boot is heat moldable, allowing it to conform to the unique shape of your foot. This technology minimizes pressure points, improves comfort, and maximizes control. With a properly molded boot, you get better response from every push and more confidence in every turn.
Who It’s For
The Envy is ideal for serious speed and jam skaters who want a lightweight, supportive, and customizable boot without stepping up to a full carbon model. It’s built for performance but offers a slightly more forgiving ride than the Envy Carbon, making it a great option for intermediate to advanced skaters.
Whether you're refining your race lines or choreographing your next jam routine, the Envy gives you the platform to perform.

You can always buy Bont Skates with confidence. Skaters have been buying Bont Skates since 1975 and we are the world’s largest manufacturer of inline speed skates and short track speed skates and custom skates as well as one of the largest manufacturers of roller derby skates.
We have a reputation for looking after our customers. We do everything possible to ensure that our products are made to the highest standards. As an example, all of our boots go through 16 individual stages of quality control before they are shipped out.
Our inline wheels, roller skate wheels and frames are all tested for strength and fatigue on the computer using the most advances computer-aided stress testing available. Bont bearings are produced in partnership with some of the best speciality bearing manufacturers in the world.
All Bont products go through a rigorous team testing phase before being brought to market. Team Bont skaters are the very best in the world.
When you buy Bont Skates, you get the best skates on the market.
Our Bont Quadstar team are some of the best skaters in the World. They love to give us feedback! From the little things like the placement of the buckle to trialing the latest materials, they help Bont create products that not only look good but perform at the elite international level.
Manufacturing skates by hand, inside out, is a method Bont retains and is exceptionally proud of. The manufacturing process is far more skill-intensive and time-consuming than other manufacturing processes. Perhaps, most importantly, this enables Bont skates to lead the industry in performance. It does, however, result in a higher production cost than mainstream skate construction methods.
We continue to develop and refine our manufacturing process to maintain the best delivery of our high-quality products. For example, processes such as the use of generic vacuum boxes for the curing of carbon have been replaced. Today, for carbon curing, we use methods such as pressure wrapping. Pressure wrapping provides four atmospheres of pressure rather than one atmosphere you find in traditional vacuum forming.
Inze Bont’s, the renowned skate designer, engineering, has allowed our production line to optimize the manufacturing of our handmade monocoque skates in the most time-efficient manner possible.
Our innovative manufacturing processes match our drive for design innovation. Lighter, Stronger, Faster.

Bont manufactures the most heat moldable boots available in the market. Improved continuously for over 45 years, Bont proprietary resin is extremely stiff that becomes pliable at relatively low temperatures.
Bont boots are moldable over the entire base, unlike other skates that are moldable only in select locations. Importantly, this provides skaters with the most anatomically designed boot on the market today. Additionally, skaters with Bont boots can fine-tune the fit of the whole boot to get that customized fit.
Head to our Heat Molding page for instructions on how to heat mold your inline skate boots, carbon roller skate boots or your fibgerglass roller skate boots.
Our proprietary Anti-Stretch material shares similar strength characteristics with Kevlar. We add this material between the outer layer and the skin, which assists prevent the boot from stretching.
To ensure the material does not move, we stitch it to the outer layer and bond it to the liner. In short, this Anti-Stretch material becomes a part of the boots’ structure. As a result, Bont boots do not stretch out as much as competitors’ boots.
We reviewed hundreds of different types of Liners before choosing a suitable product to use in our Bont boots. Bont uses Microfiber, Suede-Like, and Durolite as our liners. Ensuring we are working towards sustainability and animal welfare, Bont is using Vegan-friendly products. In short, our liners are light-weight, durable, fight odor, and do not easily break down with sweat.
The Bont Upper, the upper section of the boot, is lightweight, glued and sewn onto the boot. We punch holes by hand through the Upper and the Liner for ventilation. Buckles and straps are attached to ensure your foot is pulled down and pushed to the back. Finally, we clean the excess glue off, and the boot is ready for skating. To be deemed ready for action, the boot is required to pass sixteen stages of independent quality control. As a result, we provide you with the best strength to weight ratio on the market.

What is a Last? The Last is a plastic replica of a foot which the boot is built around.
Here at Bont, we have been perfecting our Lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. Unlike the standard Last many companies use, Bont continually focuses on developing and improving our Lasts so that your boots fit right out of the box.
Here at Bont, we have been conducting resin development for over 45 years. We formulated a resin that is super stiff, yet moldable at low temperatures. Furthermore, fast cure time is critical for our requirements. Additionally, we are one of the only boot manufacturers who develop their resins in-house.
Our resin softens at just 60°C (140°F), which is the lowest in the industry. As such, you can reheat our resin as many times as required. That is to say; you can heat your boot and easily mold it to your foot. Following the heating, allow your boot to set and cool for your custom mold.
Epoxy or polyepoxide is a thermosetting epoxide polymer that cures when mixed with a catalyzing agent or hardener. We control Polymerization, called curing, through temperature and the choice of resin and hardener compounds. The process can take minutes to hours.
The amount of hardener added to the resin is critically dependent on the temperature of the air and the amount of humidity. For this reason, we have a computer that mixes the resin and hardener. This computer dispenses the resin after measuring the air temperature and humidity.
Most manufacturers use a process known in the industry as pre-preg. A process that involves “pre-impregnating” resin into the carbon fiber.
Pre-preg, in virtually all applications, the carbon fiber manufacturer chooses the resin. Its a one shoe fits all kind of deal. The boot manufacturer has no way of altering the resin customize heat moldability requirements of modern boots. For this reason, many competitors require high temperatures to make their boots heat moldable. Often the boot moldability is limited, even at these high temperatures.
